installer for the latest telerik visual studio ajax web applications

diane

I wanted to ask about the installer for Telerik msi installer for visual studio 2010 that is used for web ajax applications. Last year I installed the latest Telerik download for an Ajax web application since the application is using the radedior that Telerik created. Now I am getting a message from the telerik when I open Visual Studio 2010 to work on the vb.net 2010 application. The message says that there is a new download that is available.

To accomplish this task, the administrator at my company will download the new msi installer for me.

However my question is do I need to uninstall the Telerik update that I placed on my workstation last year before I install the new Telerik download? I am asking that question since I am wondering if both updates can execute on the same computer?

Thus can you tell me if I need to uninstall the original update I placed on my workstation last year before I install the new Telerik download msi installer? Bascially what directions should I be following?

No, you shouldn't need to uninstall the old version. Since the old version is from the last year then the latest version will come as a new Major version and our Major versions can coexist at the same time on the same machine.
